MAA is working on increasing capacity in the fourth quarter to meet the strong demand due to the year end holidays and festivities. In Thailand forward loads and average fares for the remaining months of the fourth quarter of 2015 looks optimistic as the business environment has picked up. As with Malaysia, we see strong demands in the fourth quarter of 2015. TAA will continue to focus on domestic, southern China and Indo-China routes in the remaining quarter of 2015. In Indonesia, forward loads and average fares for the remaining months of the fourth quarter of 2015 continue to improve as a result of the brand recovery efforts launched in April. In Philippines, revenue/available seat kilometer for the remaining months of the fourth quarter 2015 are forecasted to further improve from the third quarter 2015. PAA remains on track with its turnaround plan with a focus on increasing frequency of the high yielding routes. In India, the forward loads remain buoyant. AirAsia India will remain focused on building a footprint in the Indian domestic market with the introduction of new routes and frequency increases. However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Directors remain positive for the prospects of the Group for the third quarter of 2015 and the remainder of the year. -33-
